As study Objectives remain the same and all existing transportation operations have already been surveyed, this amended scope of services is intended to expand upon two areas in the original contract (demand estimation and service alternatives) and reformat the entire Carter-Goble Associates, Inc. (CGA) reporting effort to reflect the dual nature of the study product. It is anticipated that a single study report will be prepared, Task I: Demand Estimates Using the p~ocess set forth in the original scope of services, Task ~l - Needs Analysis and Demand Estimates, CGA will determine the demand for transportation services among the elderly, Iow income, handicapped, and balance of the population throughout Cabarrus County outside of the Kanlacon Area. This material will be added to Chapter 4, Demand Estimation (see Interim Report ~2). In order to carry out this task, the Cabarrus County Planning Commission will supply the required census data, censt~s tract maps, and any additional 'information required. This task will include a revision of the comparision between projected demand and existing services to reflect the change associated with the service area involved and the volume of projected transportation need and demand. ¢ Task 2: Service Alternatives Service alternatives briefly sketched in Interim Report ~.2 will be developed in greater detail and revised to set forth the volume of demand these alternatives would meet and at what cost. It is recognized that Cabarrus County has already opted for initiation of a ride-share match program and human service agency coordination. As a result, only a minimal effort will be expended in re-addressing other alternatives, unless the added demand figures from rural Cabarrus County suggest consideration of new or different alternatives. Assuming ~he already selected ~lternative set (ride sharing program and coordinated human service agency operations), CGA recognizes that the definition of organizational alternatives (Task 6 of the original scope) and the identification of legal, financial, and administrative constraints (Task 7 of the original scope) will require very limited effort. As a result, these items will be addressed only briefly under Task 9, Definition of Operational Plan and Task 11, Implementation Plan of the original scope. This reduction of effort from the original scope and contract agreement makes it possible to assume responsibility for meeting North Carolina DOT's TDP requirements at the extremely Iow cost figure quoted for this amendment.
